Sustainable Human Resources Development (SHRD) plays an important role in achieving organizational and individual goals in businesses. The aim of the research was to design a model that can be effective in SHRD in agricultural extension. In this sense, the research is divided into two parts: Grounded Theory (GT) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). In the qualitative part, semi structured and face-to-face interview and focus groups were held as part of GT, to create a conceptual model that reflects experts' perception of the effective factor on SHRD using MAXQDA software. In the second part, this model was tested for statistical significance and path correlations through the SEM method by using Smart PLS3 software. SHRD emerged as the axial phenomenon or core category. Legality and organizational commitment offered as the first priority of causal conditions affecting SHRD. Economic context offered a contextual condition. Other important categories linked to the core category was knowledge management and learning. Finally, strategies and consequences of SHRD determined. The SEM analysis showed that causal conditions (β=0.658), contextual conditions (β=0.711) and intervening factors (β=0.690) have a positive and significant effect on the SHRD. Also, based on the results, it can be concluded that contextual conditions (β=0.658) and intervening factors (β=0.701) have a positive and significant effect on SHRD strategies. The most important effect of this research is to provide a model that pays attention to the influencing factors in that model, conditions will be provided for the development of sustainable human resources in the agricultural extension sector.
